SYNCHRONIZATION
mode
Free-Run mode (asynchronous),
DC mode (synchronous) *2
*1 When the node address is set to 0x00, the unit operates in Setting mode, so
EtherCAT communications are not performed.
When the node address is set to 0x01 to 0xFE (No. 1 to 254), that becomes the
node address setting value. The node address value written in the EEPROM
inside the MG80-EC is reflected only when the node address is set to 0xFF.
For the method of writing the node address value, refer to the manual of the
EtherCAT master unit.
*2 The MG80-EC has only the Normal mode, and does not have the Detection
Value Speed Priority mode of the Free-Run function of the MG50-EC.
